International Partnership: PERFORMISSIMA (Paris)

To encourage the exchange of ideas and practices, LA SERRE runs residency exchanges with partners in Québec, across Canada and abroad. Through these partnerships, emerging Montréal artists connect with artistic communities elsewhere, while visiting artists from other provinces and around the world build meaningful ties with Montréal’s creative scene. These exchanges enrich artistic practices and foster collaboration across the community, and are open to artists supported through LA SERRE’s various initiatives.

LA SERRE partners with the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles de Paris on PERFORMISSIMA, an experimental performance marathon held during Art Basel Paris week. A celebration of unruly forms, this xeno-festival brings together some sixty artists from 24 countries.

In the context of this partnership, Gui B.B has been invited to present her performance On The Edge Of The Swamp I Shot This Old Piece Of Skin I Shot It Hard My Friends at PERFORMISSIMA in Paris in October 2025. She will then continue developing the piece at ISO in Amsterdam, a collaborative, interdisciplinary space supported by Florence Parot that brings together performance, visual arts, design and research. During this time, she will deepen her approach and present a new iteration of the work in the Netherlands, co-produced by LA SERRE.

By supporting Québec artists in initiatives like these, LA SERRE furthers its mission to promote the international circulation of emerging practices and to build lasting connections between local and international performance communities. These collaborations open up new opportunities for dialogue and visibility for emerging artists, while encouraging meaningful exchanges among curators, presenters and artistic communities.
